Sparky Linux kernel / Vulnerable eIBRS with unprivil...

Last post by rektal - April 05, 2024, 07:41:44 AM

I have installed Sparky kernel 6.8.3-sparky8-amd64.
I have got 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz processor.
There is an info about Spectre 2 vulnerability - Vulnerable eIBRS with unprivileged eBPF.

I have disable it using this command
$ sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=0
but after restart it stills persist.

When I use linux-image-6.6.15-amd64 kernel there is no info like this above.
How to fix it?

Hardware / Re: [KDE Version] How to Insta...

Last post by duststuff - April 04, 2024, 03:21:37 PM

I just noticed on my Sparky 7.3 system that the 'APTus AppCenter' (accessible through the apps / 'start' menu) has a package called 'Nvidia Settings' (under 'System'-'Others'). If that's also available on your system, it might be worth checking out, if you haven't already. There's a chance that it's only useful if you already have the correct driver(s) installed, but I thought I'd mention it anyway in case it's helpful. I think there are also one or more general Linux packages 'out there' that were developed to identify the hardware of a system and then search online for a matching driver. I haven't ever used one of these, but I've heard others reference them who were facing situations roughly similar to yours.

Hi,

I just installed SparkyLinux overnight but having issues trying to install WINE. Below are my terminal entries and responses (from info I found on another topic here that is closed). What can I do to resolve this? Thanks!

Last post by djringjr - April 03, 2024, 08:11:57 PM

Sparky unfortunately doesn't have the GUI screen reader installed, but it can be installed.

Debian already has both console speech and GUI speech (orca) installed out of the box if you press "s" at the start of the installer.

Applications / Re: k3b not installable

Last post by AxL - April 03, 2024, 06:52:51 PM

Yeah, I solved my problem.

I removed the option to use unstable packages in my Sparky testing system.
And, I found another sid source, removed it too.

After them I did

Code Select Expand

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
Now I could install all missing packeges.

Voilà, that was it.

Well, I'm glad you were able to solve your problems.
